Now that the fuselage has been removed,
the wing needs to be removed from its trailer. This truck carried
the Main Wing, the Vertical Stabilizer and Rudder plus the Horizontal Stabilizer,
which Vought called the UHT for Unit Horizontal Tail. On most planes
the Horizontal Stabilizer consisted of a fixed horizontal wing plus a moveable
wing surface called an elevator. On the A-7 the entire horizontal
wing moved giving it much more control surface. Newer planes like
the F-14 Tomcat had the same type of horizontal control surface but each
side moved independently from each other, controlled by a computer, and
giving even more aircraft control not only in pitch but in roll too.
